Congratulations to CBMM's Rebecca Saxe on her Guggenheim Fellowship, which will allow her to pursue her work “under the freest possible conditions.”
"Are we really going to bet that we can go back to life as normal without proper coronavirus tracking in place?" NYTimes article calls upon CBMM Memo 106, by Shai Shalev-Swartz and Amnon Shashua, for the discussion about herd immunity.
In this online webinar, Profs. Amnon Shashua and Shai Shalev-Shwartz will discuss their memorandum recently released covering their analysis of a risk-based selective quarantine model on Tuesday, March 31, 2020 @ 1:00pm ET. Registration required.
Manuscript released to the public assesses the safety of dividing the population into high- and low-risk to achieve herd immunity and whether the health system can support this. Information for the decision makers of the world.
Demis Hassabis and Amnon Shashua, CBMM External Advisory Committee members, are the 2020 Dan David Prize winners for artificial intelligence. They share $1M for work on learning from experience in gaming and intelligent real-time vision, respectively.
The Center for Brains, Minds and Machines is well-represented at the thirty-third Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS 2019).
Tenenbaum was recognized for his work "combining computational models with behavioral experiments to shed light on human learning, reasoning, and perception, and exploring how to bring artificial intelligence closer to the capabilities of human thining."
Beloved professor conducted pioneering research on imbuing machines with human-like intelligence, including the ability to understand stories.
On March 20, 2019, CBMM External Advisory Committee member and CBMM collaborator Dr. Demis Hassabis presented progress on self-learning systems work at Google DeepMind with examples from AlphaGo and AlphaStar.
On March 19, 2019, CBMM External Advisory Committee member and CBMM collaborator Dr. Amnon Shashua presented progress on autonomous driving and other AI based adaptive technologies.
Explore the science of intelligence through lectures, tutorials, and courses offered by the CBMM community, and experiment with modeling and data analysis tools used in neuroscience, cognitive science, and AI, to study intelligence in brains and machines!
He is a professor at MIT and is the director of the Center for Brains, Minds, and Machines. Cited over 100,000 times, his work has had a profound impact on our understanding of intelligence, in both biological neural networks and artificial ones...
The Center is excited to announce another distinguished colleague as a research collaborator. Prof. Torralba is also the Director of the MIT Quest for Intelligence and Director of the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab.
A warm "Thank You!" to everyone for another wonderful year of exciting advances at the Center for Brains, Minds and Machines. Looking forward to 2019!
“We selected Josh … because of his willingness to partner with experts across the board - from computer scientists and engineers to neuroscientists and cognitive psychologists … His work is bridging the gap between two seemingly distinct fields.”
